...be penalized for not showing up to class? This common question is heard every semester in almost every course. Students are always questioning why a professor should have the power to penalize them for not attending class, but there are reasons. The first one is that if you sign up for that particular class they expect you to attend and do the work, be punctual and have responsibility. Another fundamental thought of reasoning is the fact that there are over a dozen other people that may want to take that class and will show up and arrive to class each week on time. Finally after each class we are supposed to be walking away with some form of new found knowledge that the professor was trying to convey. Some students think differently about that, why should the professors worry about attendance, if they are the ones paying for the class shouldn’t that be their decision whether to attend class or not? For an example what if a particular student misses classes frequently but hand in all the assignments and get good grades on it, should the professor penalize that student even though they know the material and is doing good in class? Shouldn’t be the student’s decision on attending class since they are paying for that class? Would it make a difference for the professor if the student was there or not? Therefore it is not only beneficial to a student’s grade point average, but also as a life skill to practice being punctual for class. It is also a sign of respect for...

...Ethics Is Missing Class Morally Permissible? While most schools have an attendance policy, many students feel that missing a class for any reason is morally permissible for the betterment of the student. Morally permissible can be proven by the three approaches to ethics as defined by Michael Sandel, which include: maximizing welfare, respecting freedom and rights, and cultivating virtue and promoting the good life. Maximizing welfare would be seen as an approach to the ethics of utilitarianism and John Stuart Mill; respecting freedom and rights is seen as an approach of Kantian deontology and Immanuel Kant, while the last is seen as an approach of Aristotelian thinking and Aristotle. According to Mill, a utilitarian, he would have argued that missing class for any reason is morally permissible. He backs this up by saying the ends justify the means, which is saying that the end result is what justifies the motive because Mills was a consequentialist who placed emphasis on the outcome of an act. So in the case of missing a class, for example skipping class to study for a test, he is able to justify it by citing the greatest happiness principle, which states, “We ought to do what which produces the greatest amount of happiness or pleasure (for the greatest number of people)”(notes). This states that by not going to class it’s creating the greatest amount of happiness for the greatest amount of people (the class) because if the student was in the class and was trying...

The group decided to divide the tasks at hand between the 4 members, and we were confident that each one of us would easily accomplish our portion of the assignment. During our class meetings, we briefly consulted one another about the progress each of us was making. Everyone in the group seemed to be moving along just fine. The group decided to schedule a time to meet, in order to discuss our progress thus far or any questions we might have. At the first meeting, one of the group members did not show up, even though she said she was available. The 3 of us who showed up decided to continue without her. At the next class meeting, the person who did not show apologized for her absence and told us that everything was just fine on her end. We decided to meet again on the CSULA campus, everyone agreed to the time and place. Once again the same student did not show up, we went about our business, discussing the project. After the meeting we decided to send the missing classmate an email, wondering what was going on. She apologized once again and assured us that she was doing her portion of the AIG project. As time drew near, we still did not hear from her, even after repeated attempts. She did not attend class regularly, so we could not confront her about her participation. The 3 remaining members decided to talk to our professor about our classmates’ non-participation. Our...

...an easier process for the new hire orientation. Background The research suggests that the main issue taking place is a lack of proper planning. There were many aspects of preparation process for the orientation that were overlooked or the amount of time required to completing the tasks was unknown or ignored. It would also appear that the fact that Mr. Robbins is new in his position as recruiter. His lack of “real world” experience could have caused him to under-estimate the amount of time that is required to prepare for orientation. Another issue that this analysis discovered is that Mr. Robbins was not aware of what condition his orientation manuals and that many were missing pages. This also caused Mr. Robbins added stress because he had to take time, which he didn’t have, to locate the missing pages and create new pages to be included in the manuals. Lack of experience and improper planning appears to be the main issues in this case. Key Problems There are some key issues that this case analysis will focus on. A large portion of the problem is a lack of experience on the part of Mr. Robbins. He is clearly a motivated individual and eager to do his job well but his inexperience has led to Mr. Robbins not correctly judging the amount of time required to properly prepare for orientation. Mr. Robbins effectively recruited 15 new hires that he would like to have fully working by the month of July. He initially recruited these individuals in April....

...Part C According to Anton Shone (2001), an event experience describes ‘an opportunity for leisure, social or cultural experience outside the normal range of choices or beyond everyday experience’. In order to describe the event’s experience, this quote is quite helpful. In terms of experience, an event should get the visitor out of everyday life. It should provide the participant a new and exciting world in order to create a unique experience. Coming to the event, it can be said that the escape out of the real world worked rather good. The event provided a lot of targets with which an exclusive experience could be formed. Coming to the actual event, the Groniger festival gave visitors the opportunity to experience many different things on many different places. The experience was formed due to the variety of happenings and the diversity of spectrums. People as well as our group could not have the chance to be bored or uninterested due to many the locations. As soon as something turned to be tedious, people changed to the next place. The event provided the chance to feel highly involved. The reason for this was the interaction with the audience. In comparison to other happenings like this, the ‘Nach van kunst en weterschap’ gave people the chance to actively try things, experiment with science and art and be involved as an individual. To give an example for this, a group of scientists offered the opportunity to create and see your own DNA. You had to wash your mouth with salt...

...seven elements of collective ambition (purpose, vision, targets and milestones, strategic and operational priorities, brand promise, core values, and leader behaviors) will help leaders to achieve organizational excellence. What do I agree with? The most basic and important takeaway from this article is the authors’ recommendation to “place purpose at the heart.” A clear sense of purpose is the indispensable foundation for an organization to communicate its value to customers and to engage its employees to share its vision. In the case of Standard Chartered Bank, it already had a strong purpose, “to maintain a positive presence for all its stakeholders,” which allowed the CEO and executive team to re-articulate its brand promise, the missing element in its collective ambition. Sephora, however, achieved its resurgence...

...Insights and Reflections The limitation of using E-slate in Edu-System is even though the battery life of E-slates are one to two weeks, more electricity will be used in schools in the long run due to charging stations in schools used to charge the E-slate. The increase in electricity consumption is not environmentally sustainable in the long run. This does not fulfill one of the objectives of implementing the Edu-System which is to sustain the environment by reducing paper consumption in schools. Hence, solar panels can be installed on E-slates and be used as the main power source for E-slates, as solar panels are increasingly gaining popularity as an alternative electricity source as compared to burning fossil fuels. Besides, schools can install a few solar panels on rooftops to gain maximum exposure from the sun which will be used for charging stations of E-slates. However, solar panels are expensive and will increase the cost of production of E-slate which will increase the price of E-slate, making it less affordable to students. Therefore, developers of the E-slate can look into partnering with research firms to have solar panels installed in schools and E-slate. This can help to come out with affordable solar panels, hence it helps to subsidize the cost of the E-slate. Another limitation of the Edu-System is that students and teachers who are not IT-savvy will not benefit from it. Students who are not IT savvy will spend time trying to figure out how to use the E-slate...

...Land of the lost The short story ‘’land of the lost’’ is written by Stewart O’Nan. An old woman can’t give up in finding a missing girl. She and the family might be the only one still looking for her. She disappeared two and a half year ago, but the old lady trains her dog to search for things and finally something is found a afternoon behind a Ryder truck center. The story is about an older woman who lives by her own with her dog ‘Ollie’ who is a German shepherd. She was married but got divorced. With her ex husband she got two boys, who is adults and live at their own. She works as a cashier in Perry. She is investigating a homicide on a girl that happened for two and a half years ago. She trains her dog to search for things like a police dog. She started to plan when she was going to look after the girl, and first it started with four days a week but then she twisted her ankle and missed three weeks. To catch up she went out five days a week. She felt like she might be the only one who was still looking for the murder. ”Besides the family, she might be the only person looking for her” (P. 10 line 74-75) One afternoon she walked outside Fairport Harbor, behind a Ryder truck center, when Ollie stopped and lay down in a shallow trough filled with pine duff. it wasn’t anything she’d taught him. She could not get him, to get up, she had to coax him away with a treat and tie him to the tree, and even then he hunkered down. Cowering. She was really serious, and took notes...

...The Plight of Missing Persons Naomi White Kaplan University CM220-15 Professor L McCuish December 15, 2012 The Plight of Missing Persons According to staggering statistics, there are close to 60,000 + Jane and John Does buried, cremated or lying in coroners offices across this country with no names; all scattered across a nation with no standard protocol for case sharing and identification (NamUs, 2012). These unidentified people are young and old, male and female, from all walks of life. They are someone’s mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, sisters and brothers. These bodies and spirits of our nations unidentified cry out for their names, proper burial, and many times, justice (Reitterer, 2012). The heartbreaking reality behind these statistics is a world no one wishes to be a part of. Well over 100,000 active missing person’s cases in this country at any given time. There is an estimated 60,000 sets of human remains unidentified throughout this nation. Hundreds of thousands of family members and friends living in limbo wondering what became of their loves ones. To the families of the missing, this situation has been called our nation's "Silent Mass Disaster; a problem of epidemic proportions" (NamUs, 2012). Families and advocates of the missing cry out for change within our communities and justice system and we must not allow their cries to go unheard. The Doe Network is an international non-profit volunteer organization created in 1999. Its focus...
